For more than 40 years, the Agriculture Institute of Florida has been dedicated to promoting the value of Florida agriculture and to helping elected officials and the public understand more about the state’s rich agricultural history and its diverse agricultural industry. The Ag Institute is a non-profit organization guided by a board of directors made up of professional communicators from associa

Every four years, along with Farm Credit, the Ag Institute sponsors a Candidates Forum for Florida’s governor and Cabinet races to bring growers and those seeking to lead our state together to discuss issues critical to our state and our industry. The Ag Institute also provides valuable networking and educational opportunities for professionals and for individual producers and association volunteers in the areas of public relations, communications and issues management.

Is still a thing? 🤔

We're thinking back on our April Influencer Tour, where nine social media influencers from across the state made the journey to St. Augustine to join us on a behind-the-scenes tour of North Florida agricultural operations. 🌱

The group consisted of recipe bloggers, lifestyle content creators, and dietitians and nutritionists with active followings across social media channels. Despite establishing their careers and brands on leading a healthy lifestyle, many of them felt a disconnect between farm and fork. We hoped to bridge that divide.
